[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4677778, member: 24302"] I've worked in those areas. The whole point of doing all of this is profit. FedEx isn't going to use two guys to do what one can do. Too much inefficiency with driving long distances to hand off truck. Too much fuel burned. First P1 stop 30 miles from station. Last P1 stop 60 miles. Bypassing P2 in 1630 commit areas to just do P1 then return. Too much stem time. Even ops mgrs get why that's unprofitable. Also those outlying small stations often have much earlier cutoff times and return to station earlier than big city stations that are near ramps. Fulltimers don't normally stay out late, they have to get back so truck can pull at 7 p.m. or whatever local pull time is. [/QUOTE]
